NFL salary cap to go up by more than $10 million in 2019

The Arizona Cardinals are projected to have a lot of salary cap space to work with in the coming offseason. They will have more than expected.

The league announced projections for the 2019 salary cap and it is expected to increase between $10-$14 million. The projected cap will be between $187 and $191 million. The current salary cap is $177.2 million.

It will be the sixth straight year that the cap increases by at least $10 million.

What does this mean for the Cardinals? They are expected to have a lot of salary cap space.

According to Over The Cap, they have about $118.5 million dedicated to their top 51 contracts and have an expected $72 million in cap space. If you include the carryover from this year, that amount could be as much as $76 million.

This means the Cardinals can be and should be major players in free agency, as they hope to bounce back from what has been a 3-10 season so far.

And as long as they avoid a Sam Bradford situation, they should be able to have a nice turnaround next season.
